Stay ConnectedClever talk about pop culture.
Bigmouth is pop culture talk for discerning grown-ups. Music, TV, movies, books or something else entirely – we’ll enthuse, argue, squabble and pick over the bones of what’s happening in the world of the stuff we love.
Presented by WORD magazine veterans Andrew Harrison (ex-editor of Q, Select and Mixmag) and Siân “Stan” Pattenden, a graduate of the Smash Hits and Select Mag Schools of Excellence.

THE PRODIGY: the electronic AC/DC who don’t ever need to change because they got it right 25 years ago, or relics of rave? Is THE CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA a fitting reboot to the 90s Saturday morning cult witchfest… is it a bit gother-than-thou… and does it still have a talking cat? And does C4’s euro-spy effort BERLIN STATION have das richtige Zeug for modern espionage drama?
Special guests ANTHONY TEASDALE of Umbrella magazine and former editor of The Face RICHARD BENSON join Siân and Andrew to sift this week’s pop culture popcorn.

Plus ROBYN’s new record of heartbreak on the dancefloor, Bobby Gillespie takes on The Man by refusing to dance with Michael Portillo on the BBC’s ‘This Week’… and much more.

The massive David Bowie box set project reaches the 1980s. Will the highs – Let’s Dance, Absolute Beginners, Loving The Alien – win out over the lows and is it strictly kosher to reinvent unloved albums to sound better after the artist’s death?

On this week’s pop culture palaver-fest, ex-NME and ZTT mouth-on-a-stick PAUL MORLEY joins Siân and Bigmouth regular Michael Moran to ponder the week’s key broadcasts and releases. Is serial killer drama Killing Eve – written by Phoebe “Fleabag” Waller-Bridge – the electrifying experience everyone says it is? How about Netflix psychonautical caper Maniac? Is the new Chic album any good? And which show does Michael think is “like watching a cultural reference mood board”?
All this and more on the show they’re all calling “Late Review except it’s still going and it’s a podcast not a TV show.”
BIGMOUTH was presented and produced by Siân Pattenden with audio production by Sophie Black. BIGMOUTH is a Podmasters Production.
